About this map

The St George River valley anchors this mid-1960s study, where the village of Union and South Union sit amidst a network of significant glacial water bodies. The landscape is defined by the elongated shapes of Sennebec Pond, Seven Tree Pond, and Round Pond, which formed a natural corridor for early settlement and industry. An Old Railroad Grade traces the eastern shore of Seven Tree Pond, providing a clear visual record of the former rail infrastructure that once connected these rural communities to broader markets.

Local history is deeply etched into the crossroads, with numerous named corners such as Manks Corner, Whitney Corner, and Davis Corner marking old homesteads and family hubs. The cultural heart of the area is represented by the Fairgrounds near Union and the Thompson Memorial Sch, while several burying grounds including Lake View Cem and Village Cem offer precise locations for genealogical research. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Rice Heath and Medomak River marshlands in the west to prominent elevations like Clarry Hill and Barrett Hill.
